Jose sabía [English translation]

José knew that it can't be that way

Those loves can't last

And that life is that way

It gives you just to take it from you

And so he went to some alley

Staring at nothing, hearing a goodbye

Goodbye to every pleasure

That removes the bitterness

He couldn't lean anymore on the counter

With a callus on the elbow and standing by the faith

That has the one who fell off

To get up again

There were no more lyrics for his walk

He got up and the fair again

Looking for his stall

For who plays it fully

And however he raised

glasses and glasses to the pain

To the pain of being alive

Which is the good thing the pain has

And also to the pleasure of winning and losing

When everything seems screwed up is when one has to bring

The day was ending and he with his grief

He was ready to see it fly

"I hope it doesn't fall"

he thought while closing the stall

And so he went to some alley

Staring at nothing, hearing a goodbye

Love knows to last

what lasts in crying for a dead person

He forgot how pretty it was

He forgot and he won't remember it again

He was happy without love

He thought and a drop fell of

Don't stay there, José, please

We'll find a way to work it out

And stop thinking

That music is a single note

And pridefully he raised

glasses and glasses to the pain

To the pain of being alive

Which is the good thing the pain has

And also to the pleasure of winning and losing

When everything seems screwed up is when one has to bring

If everything seems screwed up is when one has to bring
